[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here:  the breeders I am looking at raise the dogs in their own home, test strictly for genetics and hips and diseases and breed for temperament, run all kinds of hereditary disease testing - ask potential buyers lots of questions and won’t even sell to just anyone bc they love their puppies so much [/quote]

Breeders like this do exist. It just takes time and it’s not the cheapest. But in the long run a healthy dog is MUCH cheaper than one with problems.  I bought from a breeder and the dog has never had a health problem. [/quote]

This describes our breeder.  Three years later, we still get occasional texts from us asking how our dog is and for pictures.  Judging from her house (either she’s independently wealthy or has a wealthy spouse) she doesn’t earn her livelihood from breeding, she does it because it’s her passion. [/quote]

This describes my breeder as well. I support responsible breeders and I put my money where my mouth is. I feel that rescues might have issues that I may not be equipped to handle also by getting a rescue, I may be supporting a puppy mill.  [/quote]
